Happy Monday, it's time for a new challenge at Merry Monday's Christmas Card Challenge. This week Kristie is our Hostess and she is challenging us to Use a Tag on our Christmas Cards. I used a NBUS (Never Been Used Stamp) that I have had for quite a while for my tag. I watercoloured Santa's face and then sponged colour on the rest of the tag. I added the Holly and Berries for some added interest with the Silver Ribbon, Crystals, Velum and then Silver Embossed the Sentiment. I used S/U's Chalkboard Pen to highlight Santa's Hat, Beard and Eye Brows. Provo Crafts Snowflake E/Folder finished off the background. Drop by the Merry Monday blog and check out the amazing cards by the rest of the Design Team for some more inspiration.

Stamps: Rubber Stampede - 3408F Santa Collage, Kaisercraft Mini Clear Stamps - C5939 Holly, S/U's Making Spirits Bright
Card: Whisper White, Vellum
